To celebrate May the 4th, you can score this 2314-piece LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 set for just $167.99. This is an excellent collector’s item for any collection, as R2-D2 is the perfect size to fit on any shelf! Every detail from the iconic droid is captured in this set, including its rotatable head!

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga for $10

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is by far the biggest LEGO game available, with hundreds of characters to collect across numerous planets. You can pick up the game for just $10 at Amazon right now for PS4, making this a deal you won’t want to pass on. All nine films are included in this game, with characters from newer Disney+ Star Wars series as well.

Next up, you can also save on this LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon Set. This set celebrates the 25th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars, making it a must-own for any collector. Many of the Falcon’s iconic details are all here, including the round table inside and the satellite dish on top.

Monster Hunter Wilds for $54.99

Monster Hunter Wilds is still one of the biggest games of 2025, and you can save $15 off the PS5 version for a limited time at Woot. This is by far the most beginner-friendly Monster Hunter to date, with new features like Focus Mode that allow you to approach fights in new ways. In our 8/10 review, we wrote, “Monster Hunter Wilds continues to smooth off the rougher corners of the series in smart ways, making for some extremely fun fights but also lacking any real challenge.”

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake for $45.67

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake was one of my favorite games last year, offering gorgeous HD-2D visuals, an orchestrated soundtrack, and plenty of charm. This weekend, you can save ~$15 off a Nintendo Switch copy, which is a sweet deal considering this game has not made it on sale much. Now is the time to start building your catalog for Nintendo Switch 2, and what better place to start than Dragon Quest?

11th Gen iPad for $299

First up, you can save $50 off the newest iPad. Powered by the A16, the newest 11th-generation iPad is an exceptional addition to any workspace. You can use this device with both Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard Folio to make the most out of it without having to go for the iPad Air or iPad Pro.

Pre-Order Ghost of Yotei Now

Ghost of Yotei is finally up for pre-order at Amazon. Set in the Hokkaido region in 1603, you’ll play as Atsu to gain revenge on those who killed your family. While not much has been revealed for this game yet, we can expect Yotei to play very similarly to its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima.

Visions of Mana for $34.99

Visions of Mana released at the end of August, and it’s available on sale for the first time this weekend. This is the first new Mana game in almost two decades, starring a cast of characters on a quest to save the world. In our 8/10 review, we stated, “Visions of Mana finally brings the long-dormant classic RPG series into the modern age, looking great and playing even better thanks to multi-layered class and skill systems that interact in clever ways.”

Corsair K70 RGB PRO Mechanical Keyboard for $99.99

You can save $70 off the Corsair K70 RGB PRO Mechanical Keyboard this weekend at Amazon. This keyboard comes with Cherry MX RGB Red Switches, which provide a linear and fast response. There’s a magnetic soft-touch palm rest included that you can use if you wish, in addition to durable double-shot PBT Pro keycaps. At $99.99, this is a really solid deal.

Super Mario Party Jamboree for $44.99

With the recent reveal of Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games, it’s no question that you are going to want to save anywhere you can. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Super Mario Party Jamboree is set to cost $79.99, but you can upgrade from a Nintendo Switch copy for presumably $20. This weekend, save your cash and pick up a copy of Super Mario Party Jamboree from Woot for only $44.99.

Opinion: Switch 2 Finally Gives Star Wars Outlaws A Second Chance

Hoth Take.

It’s May 4th, Star Wars Day. Or, as we refer to it at Nintendo Life Towers, Oh-god-Jim’s-going-to-bang-on-about-Star-Wars-again Day.

Heh, it’s true, I am a fiend for all things from a Galaxy Far, Far Away, and, if I’m being honest, that has sometimes meant that I’m a little more keen to see the Light Side than embrace the more realistic Darkness. But my rambling this year isn’t an ‘Attack of the Clones is Good, Actually’ hot take, my dear Younglings. Instead, I’m about to hit you with some cold, hard facts. The kind of facts that are based mostly on my own point of view, of course.

Poll: Box Art Brawl – Duel: 1080° Avalanche

Or ‘Silverstorm’, if you like.

Hello folks, and welcome back to another edition of Box Art Brawl.

Last week, we looked at Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones for the GBA in celebration of its addition to Nintendo Switch Online. Hoo boy, it was a close one too. In the end, North America and Europe triumphed over Japan with 51% of the vote, but really, this one could have gone either way.

The Shadow Syndicate mixes a bit of LA Noire, a touch of Max Payne, and furries to make a game you should keep your eye on

Do you ever think to yourself, “gee, I wish that LA Noire actually looked like a noir film and also everyone is a furry”? Then boy howdy do I have the game for you: The Shadow Syndicate. It just got announced yesterday at the Gamescom Latam showcase, and I should say it’s not exactly like LA Noire in that you don’t have to try and read the faces of motion capture actors overperforming their hearts out. What it does have is some detective work, gunplay, and even some Max Payneish bullet-time. How can you not be into that mixture?

There’s a new Honkai game on the way with characters from Star Rail and Impact 3rd, and it sure does look like a Pokemon clone

I’m not sure how they have time for it, but as part of a livestream held earlier today, HoYoVerse revealed yet another new game. This one isn’t a completely new world, it’s actually another Honkai game, though right now it doesn’t have a name. A very short teaser was shared for it which literally just called it a “brand new Honkai game”, but there were a couple of signs that it was one anyway. Namely, the presence of a couple of characters, Kiana and Blade.

The Company That “Leaked” Switch 2 Is Being Sued By Nintendo

Genki “used Nintendo’s trademarks… in violation of Nintendo’s rights”.

Remember when Genki, the accessory maker behind products like the Shadowcast and Savepoint, showed off a mockup of the Switch 2 at CES earlier this year, stealing a march on Nintendo’s official unveiling? Well, it turns out Nintendo itself wasn’t too thrilled at the surprise being ruined, and is taking Genki to court.

In documents spotted by Oatmeal Dome, Nintendo claims that Genki “demoed and promoted unauthorized purported mockups and renderings of the Nintendo Switch 2 and its accessories” at CES, infringing its trademarks.
